I have made up a box with a light in it and some reflective stuff inside and set the camera up on a tripod to try and get some decent photos, I've been going crazy photographing everything

... still mucking around with all the settings on the camera trying to get the best shot though.

Good tree, nice movement. Under-rated species, good photo too. It's thickened well, but you've kept it graceful.

Thanks for posting.

Nice little tree ozzy.

Its a coincidence that just this week, I've began studying into this species with a new found respect. I've seen plenty of these in gardens around my area and was thinking of adding one to my collection.

I agree with GavinG, that its an underrated species and from what I've read, they seem like great trees for beginners to play with.

Nice tree Ozzy and ii agree, They are really goos spies as they take wire and shape well, Backshoot and leaf reduce.

Very nice tree ozzy

Have a couple that I'm playing around with too, as like the guys said above, I figured they'd be great for a beginner like me

Don at Hay has some ripper Jade trees, they inspired me to get more, I have got some real big ones going, probably about 15 cms thick that were cut off a big Jade bush and rooted, they are easy to start and easy to find, many yards having them, easy to look after too.

So true, I've found you can take a cutting and leave it for a fair while, and it'll still strike when you put it in the ground. Took my cuttings from my old man's house, and didn't plant them on for a few days, and they just took right off

I love your little watering guy on the bottom Jason, very cool.

Nice looking tree ozzy. Love this species. Great looking nebrari. Quality photography (puts my phone camera shots to shame.)
